1. One click swap of schedule – now in the scheduling screen you can mouse over a schedule and quickly switch it to another employee

http://timewellscheduled.com/blog/sometimes-i-see-negative-hours-why-is-that/#commentsThu, 25 Apr 2013 17:33:21 +0000http://timewellscheduled.com/blog/?p=988This can happen in very specific cases, when you allow shift splitting and employees can clock in early.

In normal cases, here is how a shift split works.

Employee Scheduled – 12PM to 8PM

Employee leaves at 3PM, arrives back at 5PM

We calculate the schedule as 2 entries:

12PM-3PM (3hrs)

5PM-8PM (3hrs)

The system automatically adjusts the inner times (3PM and 5PM) and leave the start/end because of copy/history of schedules.

If employees can check in early, this situation will generate a negative hour

Employee Scheduled – 12PM to 8PM

Employee arrives at 8AM, leaves at 11AM, arrives back at 3PM

We calculate the schedule as 2 entries:

12PM-11AM (-1hrs)

3PM-8PM (5hrs)

A future enhancement we will adjust the start/end dates, but due to the complex rules in place now, this isn’t an easy change, hence why it shows a negative value.

http://timewellscheduled.com/blog/employees-punching-in-and-out-at-their-own-department-stations/#commentsMon, 08 Apr 2013 23:00:41 +0000http://timewellscheduled.com/blog/?p=977We just released an update that allows you to bookmark a unique URL, by department so that employees scheduled for that department can only punch in and out at that department station. You can enable this for a specific department or all departments. Only those departments checked off, will be required to punch at the specific stations.

How it works:

Go to MANAGE MY BUSINESS->MANAGE MY DEPARTMENTS

Find the department you want to control, and select EDIT.

Click the checkbox to turn this feature on

Use the unique bookmark provided as the link on the station

Example:

You have an employee Jim that works outside and when his shift is done, takes 10 minutes to reach the main punch station. By turning on this feature and bookmarking the unique URL, Jim can now punch out at his workstation without having the walk to the main workstation.

We’ve now opened this up so you can allow any employee to do the same.

When you edit an employees profile, under their employee code you will see this option, check it off and they can log in with their employee code and password all the time:
